Siding 101

Select Your Siding.

Look at siding in all its dimensions. (And sides.)

Curb appeal, close-up inspection after retrieving a baseball appeal, pull into your driveway at the end of a long day appeal. Name your appeal. The right home siding can lend a ton of it to your home in great swaths of square yardage.

Siding comes in many styles, colors, textures and types, and choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Kind of like the salsa shelf in the organic section at the supermarket. But no worries: We're here to help.

You can feel the impact of siding by sight. (“Hey, killer clapboard!”) You can feel it in the quality of your weekends. (“Hey, I’ve never seen you stain your shingles!”) For more on how siding can affect your home and your life, visit our Impact of Siding section.

Color is connected to siding. A lot. Thing is, are the color choices and siding shouting at each other? Boring each other to tears? Quietly living in peaceful harmony? Find out on our Color Education page.
